Glasgow duo return for Scotland

Frank Hadden today recalled Thom and Max Evans to the Scotland team for Saturday’s RBS 6 Nations clash with France.

The Glasgow stars were controversially omitted from the starting line-up for Sunday’s opening defeat to Wales, with Thom not even in the 22.

Max came off the bench to score Scotland’s only try in the 26-13 loss and is one of five changes to the side comprehensively beaten by the Grand Slam champions.
